Was the Best drama of 2025 up until Episode 37

This is only my second review on My Drama List. I've been an avid Chinese and Korean Drama watcher for about 8-9 years. This drama captivated me within the first 10 minutes! It's one of the first dramas I've watched that didn't make me use my remote to fast forward through half of every episode! I've loved every minute of every episode so far although I've only watched 4! I'm a recent fan of the ML.

Spoiler Alert* This drama was absolutely wonderful up until the 37th episode when it fell apart. I tried my hardest to finish the series to no avail. I don't understand Chinese authors, screenwriters, directors or producers who are constantly churning out this terrible emotional drivel of hyping us up only to play with our emotions in the last few episodes like we're not humans with feelings by ruining the story! Is the Chinese government against romance!?! Is it due to the episode limit restrictions so things get lost in the editing room!?!

What is the point of watching "ROMANCE DRAMAS"!?! ROMANCE WITH AN EMPHASIS ON ROMANCE BETWEEN THE LEADS NOT EMOTIONAL TURMOIL BETWEEN ME AND MY REMOTE!!! I've given up on so many Chinese dramas in the past year and a half alone that I'm seriously considering strictly watching Korean dramas. Bad enough the Chinese government restrictions on drama budget wardrobe makes it so embarrassing watching the characters wearing LESS OUTFITS than I own but only 40 episodes for a rich complex story is ruining so many dramas it's a tragedy of epic proportions in my book!
